Brett Hundley, Davante Adams have a Rodgers-to-Nelson-like connection

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson have the kind of connection that playcallers dream about. As a quarterback-receiver combination, no one has more touchdowns in Green Bay Packers history.

Last season, they broke the mark of 58 set by Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman, and reached 65 touchdowns before Rodgers broke his collarbone in Week 6 this season.

Enter Brett Hundley, who seems to have forged his own connection -- but not with Nelson. Since Hundley took over for Rodgers in the first half against Minnesota, he has made it clear that Davante Adams is his preferred target.

In parts of four games, including three starts, Hundley has two touchdown passes. Both went to Adams, including a 19-yard back-shoulder touchdown in Sunday's win at Chicago. It was a throw that was so perfectly placed it looked as if it came out of Rodgers' right hand.

They should trade both Jordy and Aaron.

Add stupid to what GB media is. Soft and stupid. Hyperbole.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Hard to buy into this after one good half of ball, but you have to start somewhere. I am curious to see if they can continue this on Sunday against a really good pass defense.

Hard to believe people get paid for writing that junk. Adams was getting more throws from Rodgers than Jordy also.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

But I do think Adams seeming to be Hundley's favorite/best down field target is very important. As Adams has been getting over 25.5% of Hundley's completed passes.

In the last four games the player/position break down of Hundley's completed passes.
25.7% Adams
20.3% RBs
17.6% Cobb
17.6% Nelson
12.2% TE/FBs
6.6% Others (Allison/etc)

In the last two games (as Hundley as looked a bit better), Hundely's completed passes
27.3% Adams
20.5% RBs
18.2% Cobb
15.9% Nelson
15.9% TE/FB
02.2% Other

Again, very small samples here... but I'm surprised how low Nelson is compared to Adams and he's equal in number of catches as the TE/FBs who have been getting more attention the last two weeks

My fantasy team has been horseshit since Rodgers went down so I'm glad Adams is a factor again.
